Count On Custom Exteriors To Help You Choose, Finance & Install Your Brand New Exterior Door.
In order to improve the energy performance of your home, it may be wise to consider a new exterior door. If maximum energy performance is your main goal, a thick, solid door can provide five times the insulating power of a glass door. Depending on the type of door you are looking to install, fiberglass may be the most energy efficient material for your door replacement.
The Science Behind Doors & Energy Efficiency
There are a few factors to consider when choosing a new exterior door:
R-Value - the capacity of a material to insulate. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation and the more energy you will save.
U-Value - also referred to as U-factor, it measures a door's resistance to heat loss and usually ranges from 0.20 to 1.20. The lower the number, the better the door is at keeping heat in.
Thermal Break - the material between the door and frame that is meant to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials.
Low-Emissivity Coatings - the ability of a material to radiate energy is called its emissivity. This coating is added to glass to lower the ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through.
Low-Conductivity Gases - heat transfer occurs at a lower rate across materials of low thermal conductivity than across materials of high thermal conductivity. These gases are added between panes of glass to prevent heat transfer.
Financing Your New Door
Old doors can be very drafty - allowing a lot of flow of thermal energy. That's why PACE programs make it so easy to finance the installation of a more energy efficient replacement door.
In order to finance a door through CaliforniaFIRST it must first be a replacement for an existing door. From there, the biggest consideration to make is the replacement's U-factor. For opaque doors the U-factor must be below 0.21, for less than ½-Lite doors the U-factor must be below 0.27 and the SHGC below 0.30 and for greater than ½-Lote doors the U-factor must be below 0.32 and the SHGC less than 0.30.
In order to finance a door through HERO it must first be a replacement for an existing door and NFRC Certified. From there, the biggest consideration to make is the replacement's U-factor. For opaque doors the U-factor must be below 0.17, for less than ½-Lite doors the U-factor must be below 0.25 and the SHGC below 0.25 and for greater than ½-Lite doors the U-factor must be below 0.30 and the SHGC less than 0.25. In addition, HERO requires that your product meet Title 24 requirements and be installed based on the manufacturer's instructions.

Looking Up the New Year's Sky
Our year ended sadly because my father-in-law was hospitalized two days before the new year, and is still in the hospital right now. My husband has to stay at the hospital with his father, while my 2 year old son and I had to check-in in a local inn/apartelle with my sister-in-law and his 2 year old son also. We have no "media noche" this time but still Ate Aida and I waited for the year 2012 to end and Welcome 2013 by looking up the sky and appreciating the fireworks released by the people of Malaybalay Bukidnon.
While watching those different colors bursting in the sky were hoping and praying for the fast recovery of our patient. And at the same time wishing, hoping and praying also that 2013 will be a better year for all of us.
Happy New Year Everyone!

A US judge has given prosecutors permission to put alleged co-conspirators on the witness stand to tell inside details of former Daily Telegraph boss Conrad Black's role in an alleged £42 million fraud.
US District Judge Amy St Eve ruled that federal prosecutors had shown a conspiracy more likely than not existed within the Hollinger International publishing empire, and thus they could use such testimony against Black.

Associated Newspapers agrees to pay substantial libel damages to lawyer over 'devastating attack' on her reputation
- October 28, 2016
BBC wins libel battle against Imam after Sunday Politics show 'extremism' comments
- November 4, 2013
Government proposal to protect poor from libel costs could lead to increase in claims, lawyers warn
The testimony is likely to include that of David Radler — Black's former top aide — and dozens of others entangled in the complex matter. Radler now is co-operating with the government and is expected to be the star witness for the prosecution.
Testimony concerning what a defendant said is generally considered hearsay and prosecutors are for the most part barred from presenting it to jurors.
But hearsay evidence from co-conspirators is allowed if prosecutors can prove a conspiracy existed. The idea is that the only way to prove the case is with testimony from someone on the inside of the plot.
The Black case is doubly complicated because no one is charged with conspiracy — but the government is saying a conspiracy existed anyway. Prosecutors asked the court to allow such testimony on that basis.
But St Eve stopped short of giving prosecutors blanket permission to use co-conspirator testimony, ruling some statements out of bounds and saying she would rule on others once the trial got under way.
The trial of Black, the former Hollinger chairman, and three other company executives is expected to last three months.
They are accused of illegally accepting payments from companies that bought hundreds of community newspapers in the US and Canada that were owned by Hollinger. The payments were in exchange for promises not to compete with the buyers in markets where the papers circulated, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors say the payments should have gone to Hollinger shareholders and not into the pockets of the four defendants.
Black has insisted that he will be "vindicated" by his fraud trial and has hit back at his accusers in a piece for Tatler magazine.
The Canadian billionaire, who denies the charges, faces a substantial jail term if convicted on all counts.
But the former tycoon has written in the magazine that he has "full faith in the outcome" of the trial.
He said: "I know I am innocent of the allegations against me, as does almost anyone who actually knows me, and I am about to prove it."
He aded: "I have never had the slightest doubt of the outcome of a fair trial, knowing that the judgment of the legality of my actions will lie in the hands of 12 American citizens, in one of that country's greatest cities, more or less at the bar of Abraham Lincoln and Clarence Darrow."
Lord Black said the months leading up to the trial had been "very tiresome," but added: "physically, I feel as I did 35 years ago."
He wrote: "After 16 months, the court is about to try the case. Great psychological resilience and considerable financial resources and agility have been required just to survive to the opening of the trial."
Black also hit out at the way his case had been treated, saying: "The presumption of innocence is the basis of our criminal justice system in the UK, Canada and the US and the treatment of accused people is one of the most reliable criteria of the decency of any civilised society.
"In practice, the presumption of innocence in this case has been a risible fiction until we got to the court."
"When we are acquitted, the question of the justification for this orgy of self-directed largesse will finally replace, as the real issue, the malignant canard of possible criminal behaviour by the present defendants.
"And my libel suits, the largest in Canadian history at over $3 billion, especially those against my accusers on the Special Committee, which have been patiently waiting like racehorses at the starting gates, will finally proceed."
The article appears in the new issue of Tatler, on sale today.

Can you believe there's only 17 days until Thanksgiving? It has really snuck up on me this year. Over the next 3 weeks, I'll be posting some of my favorite recipes for the holidays. Some simple, some not, but all delicious and tested out in our household.
Many of us will host out-of-town guests over the holiday's. It's always tough (at least it is for me) to find breakfast recipes. I always look for something that is easy to put together but looks fancy. This recipe fits the bill and got rave reviews at a recent family brunch I hosted a few weeks ago. This is from my Cooking Light cookbook. It uses chicken sausage and pizza dough, which is lower in fat than crescent dough. You can also try to find light or low-fat cheese.
Jalapeno, Sausage, Jack and Egg Breakfast Braid
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
- Cooking Spray
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Onion
- 4 ounces chicken sausage with jalapeno peppers, copped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 Cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1/4 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 Cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Unroll the dough onto a baking sheet, coated with cooking spray. Pat into a 15 x 10″ rectangle. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sausage. Cook for 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in eggs and cook 1 1/2 minutes or until set. Remove from heat. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese lenthwise down the center of the dough, leaving about 2 2/1 inches of a border around the edges. Spoon egg mixture evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over egg mixture and top with jalapeno peppers. Make 2-inch long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart along both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of the filling, using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Arrange the strips over the filling, alternating strips diagonally over filling. Press ends under to seal. Brush with egg white. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.
Makes 6 servings. (Serving size: 1 slice).
Additional notes: I pre-chopped the vegetables and sauteed both the veggies and sausage the night before. Makes things much simpler the next morning when you are sleepy (errr….hung over…lol)! All you have to do is reheat and add the eggs. I also had some left over bell peppers, so I chopped those up and added it to the other veggies. We couldn't find this specific Chicken sausage, but really, anything Chicken sausage will do. Ours had reg and green peppers in it.
What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions? Do you have any special recipes that you always make?

Today I had the privilege of attending a conference with Lester Laminack. If you don't know him, you should. He is an amazing teacher, person, writer and speaker. This is the third time I have seen him speak in the last 4 years and I left once again so inspired. I left there a different person with SO many ideas in my head, on my heart and on my tongue. Luckily, two of my favorite teacher peeps went with me and we went to lunch and "broke it down" for almost 2 hours. All he shared is more than I can coherently share in one post, so there will be more later.
One resounding theme of today was the power of language for children. Young developing readers need to be surrounded by the rich language of literature and engaged in discussions with caring, attentive teachers and treated with kindness and respect simply because they breath in and out. Readers need more than decoding strategies. They need to know the language of literature....the rhythm, the phrasing, the vocabulary and so much more. The teacher is the facilitator in this relationship with reader and text. It is our job, as teachers, to do everything and anything we can do to create a classroom that is the hinge between the language of the child's life and their school language. We can't simply throw our hands up or dismiss them because "we tried and they aren't getting it....that they are just not receptive to the excellent instruction we are delivering." We must continue to try to change "the how", to search for more literature, to build a deeper relationship with the child in order to reach them. In all of this the child will at the very least learn that they matter and that they are loved and they are worth your time.
Lester affirmed something all good teachers and parents know. Kids just want to be loved and understood. They want to know that they matter....that they are worth it. It is so important that we as teachers give every ounce of effort to show these children that they matter and they are loved....simply because they breathe in and out. Children go through so much in their families, with friends, with emotions....they need to know that their teacher is on their side. There are so many things that are out of our control as teachers....but we can love and listen and inspire and converse and build relationships with students no matter how many challenges we have with money and curriculum and paper work. One teacher can change a child's life. Most of the time we spend one year with them. It's a year of their life-of their short childhood-that they will never get back. We can't afford to give them any less than our best.
Another blog I follow, A Teaching Life, posted this video of an 8th grade girl who is bullied. As I watched her heartbreaking plea for help, I couldn't but think of how much a caring teacher(s) could help her. Hopefully her teacher(s) know her well enough to know she needs help.
Sorry for the long ramble.....there's so much more on my mind from today. I'll write more soon. For now, I'll leave you with Alye's powerful, heartbreaking language.
Thanks for sharing your powerful words with us today, Lester!

Real Property Tax Appeals
If you or your clients own commercial or investment property, then now is the time to file a tax appeal. Every owner of commercial or investment property should file a tax appeal every three years to either contest or freeze the fair market value.
County Boards of Assessors are required to deliver Notices of Assessment ("NOA") to every real property owner. In Chatham County NOAs were delivered in early May. The NOA establishes the fair market value of real property for purposes of taxation and triggers the deadline for filing a tax appeal. Property owners have 45 days from the notice date to file an appeal. If you or your client has not received a NOA, then it is imperative that you contact the Chatham County Board of Assessors to request a duplicate copy.
If the fair market value for 2014 is more than what you or your client believes it is worth, then you should appeal the value to the Board of Equalization. If the fair market value is less than what you or your client believes it is worth, then you should still appeal the value to the Board of Equalization to take advantage of the "three year freeze." OCGA Section 48-5-299(c).
Georgia Law allows any property owner who appeals its valuation to "freeze" the value for the year in question plus two additional years. This process is much less complicated than an actual appeal and can save you or your clients thousands of dollars. For example, if your client owns property appraised for $1,000,000, but the Board of Assessors has it valued at $800,000, then it would be advisable to file an appeal and freeze the value at $800,000 for 2014, 2015, and 2016. Taking advantage of the "three year freeze" is incredibly important in an accelerating market.
For more information on the tax appeal process, consult with an experienced attorney, log onto the Chatham County Board of Assessors Website boa.chathamcounty.org or email the Board of Assessors at email@example.com.
Mathew M. McCoy is a partner at McCorkle & Johnson, LLP, and Treasurer of the Savannah Bar Association. Mat can be reached at 912-232-6485 or email@example.com. Feel free to call Mat with any questions regarding the tax appeal process.

This years' Strategy Meeting & Lobby Days will reflect upon the most recent, super successful mass mobilization at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia and Hemisphere Wide Coordinated Actions calling for an end to U.S. military intervention in Latin America.
The movement is energized by the rise of grassroots power for social change throughout the Americas and the North-South ties that have been built. Over the past couple of years, five Latin American governments denounced the School of the Americas and decided to stop sending soldiers and police to receive training at WHINSEC.
This year we will continue to look at building a movement beyond the School of the Americas. We will evaluate and strategize around the November Vigil, media and direct action strategies and our new Latin American organizing initiatives.

Thirty-eight weekends a year, John Klausmeier '04, mechanical engineering, gets a trackside view to NASCAR's fiercest races, carefully watching a high performance Chevrolet SS that he has tuned sweep into the curves at nearly 200 miles per hour.
Growing up, Klausmeier loved diving underneath the hoods of automobiles to find ways to make them go faster. That interest (and his time at UMBC) helped him find a career in which he travels the country's NASCAR circuit as a lead race engineer for one of the sport's most successful drivers – Danica Patrick – and her #10 car.
Klausmeier found his passion for automobiles and how they work at his parents' repair shop in Perry Hall. The shop was where he tinkered with carburetors and other components to figure how they worked, and how they could work better.
When it came time for college, "I felt that studying engineering would be a catalyst for merging something I had as a hobby into a career," he says.

Designed for the Working Musician
The Takamine Pro Series 1 is a fusion of high quality guitar craftsmanship and the needs of today's working musician. The P1JC will feel and sound like a work of art, but Takamine have been realistic about the demands of a gigging guitar player. You may not find ornate inlays or purfling, but you will find features that make life easy for you when you're on the road.
An example of this is the unique split bone saddle on the Rosewood bridge. This practical design delivers the ultimate accuracy when it comes to intonation and tuning stability. You can concentrate on nailing your performance without worrying about how the guitar is going to sound after 6 songs. Likewise the rosewood bridge has been designed without bridge pins, which means that full restrings can be done in a fraction of the normal time. Better still, should a string break mid song, your crowd won't have a long wait on their hands for the next number.
Despite being a practical guitar, nothing has been left out on the tone front. The P1-JC still delivers all of the rich and luscious tone that players have come to expect from a Japanese crafted Pro Series Takamine guitar.

Hi, I am using ActiveMQ 4.0 M4 standalone with the message consumers and producers running from a separate Weblogic instance. I have got the following code to send a message using JTA transaction demarcation, Context ctx = null; Connection con = null; Session sess = null; try { context = new InitialContext(); UserTransaction utx = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("javax.transaction.UserTransaction"); utx.begin(); ConnectionFactory cf = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://localhost:61616"); Destination dst = new ActiveMQQueue("submission.queue"); Connection con = cf.createConnection(); Session sess = con.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); MessageProducer prod = sess.createProducer(dst); prod.send(sess.createTextMessage("Test")); con.stop(); utx.rollback(); } catch(Exception ex) { throw new RuntimeException(ex); } finally { closeResources(ctx, con, sess); } The message is still being published, despite the transaction being rolled back. Do I need to do anything else so that the ActiveMQ session get enlisted with the transaction manager. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

The act of kissing with your asshole by placing your sphincter on someone or something and then flexing/clenching your but-hole causing a similar effect like if you were kissing with your lips. The variations are "wet" poop kiss leaves fecal matter on the targeted area. "Blowing" a poop kiss would be farting unfiltered (bare assed) within a inch of the intended target (extreme banzai crop dusting).

I went with the more expensive oral options and the less expensive oil options which may have explained the moderate PIP I got from the oils. Everything however did seem legit, had some great strength gains. Packaging was safe and fast. Once opened I had zero fear that anything was in danger of being damaged. It took me a little time to write this review and I'm ready to place another order having completed a successful cycle with AF already. Prices are great and they're a source I trust. One other thing I will say is that the viagara didn't do much at all. However the Cialis was quite effective. That being said everyone is different so I may just respond to one better than the other.
Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.

Achille millefolium is the Latin name for the Yarrow flower. Achille is derived from the warrior Achilles, who used the Yarrow flower to stop the bleeding wounds of his soldiers. For centuries, warriors carried the Yarrow flower into battle for courage and protection, and its healing powers.
A warrior focuses on the present and makes clear decisions as to what she wishes to happen. She objectively assesses her strengths and weaknesses, then moves forward to accomplish her goals and overcome any obstacles in her way.

The leadership of the Curtis Institute of Music has dissolved its board of overseers, a high-level think-tank of leaders in classical music, academia, technology, and other sectors that helped staff and trustees set a course for the school.
Curtis' board of trustees took the action Oct. 17, effective immediately, after what several overseers described as friction between the overseers and the school's leadership, and upon reviewing a task force's recommendation to disband the group.
"Deeply disappointed" is the way overseers chairman Lowell J. Noteboom characterized his reaction in an email to other overseers. "I believe the discontinuance of the overseers is a significant loss to Curtis and that the administrative burden could have been managed in ways that would not have required such drastic action. That said, there seemed to be no will to craft a different solution," he wrote.
In a separate letter to the Curtis board, Noteboom said it had been the recommendation of most members of the ad hoc committee to dismiss the overseers, and that it was the "stated preference" of Curtis president and CEO Roberto Díaz.
Díaz said he had found the overseers "hugely helpful," but that it was time to change the way the elite music conservatory on Rittenhouse Square sought outside perspectives.
"For me, it's important that it doesn't feel like we got tired of them or didn't appreciate them as helpful," Díaz said. "That really couldn't be farther from the truth. It has been a very important group of people to me and the school, and they continue to be. The friction part of it is not a huge part to the decision. Just the format of the meetings became, for any number of reasons, not the right forum."
He said he would continue to call on the former overseers' advice individually, but that "bringing them in twice a year wasn't the right way to harness their expertise, and I think it takes courage for the trustees to say maybe this wasn't the best use of everyone's time. Shame on us if we continued to use something that isn't producing the best results for everyone involved."
The trustees have approved new bylaws "encouraging greater participation" of nontrustees on committees. Although nontrustees already serve on committees, a Curtis spokeswoman said the bylaws now make explicit what had been ambiguous – that nontrustees will have a full vote on committees.
Curtis' board of overseers had its first meeting in 1997, chaired by Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University and grandson of Curtis founder Mary Louise Curtis Bok Zimbalist. In recent years, the twice-yearly meetings had sometimes grown strained, several overseers said. But tension was interpreted by many as salutary to the overseers' mission; Curtis thrives on tradition and tight bonds among a small circle, and so outside ideas were sought to put the school in touch with trends in the industry and society that could help prepare students for life after graduation.
"It was a place where you could test ideas, ask questions, and debate things, and it would give you access to the best thinking about the school's place in the larger world and the role of a conservatory in training students," said overseer Douglas McLennan, founder and editor of arts news aggregator ArtsJournal.
Input from the overseers – many of whom were Curtis alums – has had an important impact on the school.
"In the last few years, we've had discussions on social media, on digital initiatives, the strategic plan," McLennan said. "The overseers is where the MOOC [free online courses] idea came from."
The overseers had a hand in developing the Curtis on Tour and Curtis Performs online videos, among other programs.
In addition to influencing the school itself, the overseers body functioned as an avenue to new trustees – and money. Nina Baroness von Maltzahn was a member of the overseers before becoming board chair. She and her husband have given the school a total of about $70 million. Marguerite Lenfest was a member of the overseers before her husband, H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest, became chairman of Curtis' board, and the Maltzahns and Lenfests have become some of the largest donors in the school's history. (Gerry Lenfest is a member of the board of Philadelphia Media Network, owner of the Inquirer and Philly.com.)
Several overseers said the dynamic between the overseers and the school changed after Gerry Lenfest ended his term as board chairman in 2014, and Elizabeth Warshawer stepped down in 2015 as executive vice president, chief operating officer, and chief financial officer. "When Gerry was the chair of the board, he came to the meetings and was curious and interested in the relationships. We all got to know him. He was an amazing person. It changed after he left," said overseer Sarah Lutman, principal at Lutman & Associates, a St. Paul, Minn.-based consultancy.
"Elizabeth was very adept on lots of fronts," said Noteboom, a Minneapolis lawyer with extensive involvement with orchestras. "Not everyone will always agree on everything, but Elizabeth could navigate a range of views and help find consensus in her own unique way. That was a strength she had. There were not the same strengths after she left."
Lenfest said he believed that the individual members of the overseers were representative of great talent and expertise, "but collectively I think it was unfortunate they were called overseers," he said. "I didn't think Curtis needed a board of overseers, even though individually they couldn't have much to offer to the board and management because they are doing so well. I enjoyed being with them because they are leaders as individuals, but again, I really didn't feel, then or now, that collectively they added much to Curtis. They weren't really needed. There was a time perhaps when Curtis needed direction from the overseers, but it no longer applies."
Another voice gone from overseers meeting was a board chair.
"Nina's travel schedule did not permit her to visit Philadelphia specifically for board of overseers meetings while she was chair," said Curtis spokeswoman Jennifer Kallend. Edward A. Montgomery Jr., vice chair of the trustees, represented her at overseers meetings, "as he did for Gerry Lenfest while Gerry was chair. Nina did have opportunities to visit with Lowell Noteboom and other overseers at board gatherings and gala events, and she was fully aware of overseers discussions and activities."
Noteboom recalls one recent difference of opinion over the question of diversity. Overseers and administration worked on the "challenges and opportunities" for Curtis around that issue in fall 2015 and spring 2016. "The suggestions that came out of that process were not broadly accepted, and that seems to have been a catalyst for the trustees' forming the ad hoc committee to look at the effectiveness and helpfulness of the overseers," Noteboom said. "The trustees were very clear at that time that they were not interested in focusing additional energy or resources on diversity. There was a collective sense that Curtis was doing what it could and should do in that regard, and that to consider something that was broader and deeper wasn't within the available resources at Curtis at that time. By the spring of 2016 it became clearer that there was frustration at Curtis with the overseers."
Curtis leaders say the school will find new ways to engage outside opinions. But will the new ways of incorporating outside views be as valuable as the overseers have been?
"The short and long answer is, nobody knows," says C. Richard Neu, a member of the ad hoc committee that made the recommendation to the board, and an overseer since 1997. "The most important thing is that there is no diminution of Curtis' … need or desire for outside input. The danger of an institution, particularly a small one like Curtis, is that it is easy for it to become insular, and that is universally recognized.
"We'll try this for a few years, and if we are really sorry we lost the body, we can reinstitute it. I think we should view this as something of an experiment to see if we can find a better, less formal mechanism for the outside perspective that Curtis needs."
Over time, the group of overseers had become larger, and organizing meetings and following up on ideas was taking more staff time. Just as significantly, perhaps, the early board of overseers was steeped in the Curtis tradition. Several were members of the family that founded the school, or alums.
"There was a lot of close connection to the institution and from the administration and the board, people who understood what made Curtis a special place," said Thomas Wolf, a Cambridge, Mass.-based arts/nonprofit consultant and, since 2001, an overseer. "The overseers group got quite large – and I think that sense of extended family may have been lost."
Others, however, argue that something else important has been lost by not looking beyond Curtis' walls in the way it had for the last two decades.
"It is important to remember that when outside professionals are invited to observe, inform, advise, and support an institution, it is appropriate to expect all aspects of that assistance to be honest, candid, and well-intentioned," wrote Noteboom in his Oct. 6 letter to trustees. He pointed out that part of the job was to question the status quo, "raise uncomfortable questions," and encourage change.
"It is also fair to note," he wrote, "that, occasionally, constructive suggestions and/or criticism will be perceived too narrowly as simply being criticism. That, unfortunately, has also been true at Curtis."

It is certainly a dagger, but it might or might not be an Hour Glass next to it.
Does this have some reference to the society of Oddfellows, which used the Sword and Hour Glass symbolism?

Re: Dagger and Hour Glass?
I can't find a good match but it almost looks like a hybrid sword / tomahawk. Interesting!
Re: Dagger and Hour Glass?
I found another one and that is the number "1" next to a dagger ::: This other spoon has the number "2" and a dagger ::: Somehow I must have bought two of these spoons a long time ago and just forgot about the other one, this happens sometimes that I am forgetful :::

SAN JOSE, Calif. — LELO has recommenced U.S. shipments of its bestselling Tiani couples massager, with Tiani 2, Tiani 3, NOA, the Indulge Me Pleasure Set and Bridal Pleasure Set all available to order from this week onwards.
"With the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversing the International Trade Commission's (ITC) finding of violation, the ITC has determined that there is no longer a basis for the general exclusion order or the cease and desist orders previously issued in connection with the investigation," the company said. "The ITC has therefore rescinded all the orders, and LELO is free to import its couples' massagers to the U.S market."
LELO says the decision is a victory for distributors, retailers and American consumers as a whole, who can now enjoy a wider range of choice in the couples' massager segment.
Worn by women during intercourse, the Tiani Couples' Massager was available in the U.S. until the ITC's June 2013 ruling temporarily halted its importation.
"While LELO representatives said they were delighted to recommence shipments, they expressed regret at the actions of Standard Innovation Corporation (SIC) in using the ITC to block U.S. consumers from access to this product for close to two years," the company said. "The ITC decision is now formally determined as not being in accordance with law. LELO maintains that Standard Innovation Corporation's actions were solely intended to prevent competition in the marketplace for its We-Vibe product line, and continues to pursue separate lines of litigation against SIC in the districts courts."
Retailers and distributors seeking to place new orders for the Tiani 2, Tiani 3, NOA, the Indulge Me Pleasure Set and Bridal Pleasure Set may contact a local LELO sales representative or email email@example.com. Any legal questions can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bard College has a long, proud history of civic engagement and activism.Our approach to education, our mission, and our history as an institution are deeply rooted in change-making efforts related to education, health and safety, civil rights, social justice, and equality. Speaking and standing up in defense of one's beliefs is common practice on all Bard campuses, including those where individual freedoms are greatly restricted or at risk. Bard students, faculty, and staff seek to facilitate proactive change locally, nationally, and internationally.

Question about 1995 Pontiac Sunfire
I have a 2002 vw jetta. My car was just about to run out of gas but I made it to the gas station as it was sputtering. Ever since I put gas in it, my engine light started flashing and It is driving horrible. When I put my foot on the gas it revs really high and then it finally changes gears. Is this a coincidence or does it have something to do with me running out of gas. My car was perfectly fine until this happened. Thanks for any help.
Posted by pamfrei on
thanks I appreciate the advice, but how is that going to help me now?
As you ran out of gas you engine began to misfire, this turned on the flashing check engine light....when this ocures the responds by turning off the injector (gas) to that cylinder it thinks is having a problem to save the catalytic converter. All normal....you should have a shop clear this for you. You can do this by pulling a battery cable but you will loose radio code and all memory for seats etc....If the light and codes are cleared and you still have a problem you might have sucked up something but with all the filters its unlikely

FGW's Brand Vs Bargain: Tinted Moisturizers
February 28, 2008 at 8:36 am Mo 8 comments
In the cosmetics world, you know something's really hit the big time when the cheap drugstore brands start making their version of it. Inspired by Jen I recently went in search of a good tinted moisturizer.
My first stop was Nordstrom, where I hit up most of the major counters. It's a sad fact that I am, for some reason, a hard skin tone to match. It took several tries but I finally found a color that would work for me at the MAC counter. At $25 Select Tint is priced pretty close to most other brands, if a bit less.
Later that day I happened across Wet 'n Wild's sheer tinted moisturizer and figured I'd give that a shot too. I've found some super cheap things that are decent, so what could it hurt to try yeah? I grabbed the lightest color they offer and got it for under $5, including tax.
In appearance the two seem pretty similar, but the proof of the pudding and all that, I had to delve deeper. The associate at the MAC counter told me their formula tends to be more pigmented than other brands, and I liked that because this I'm just changing from a regular foundation to tinted moisturizer. I didn't want to make too much of a change all at once.
It's slightly thinner than regular foundation, and goes on soft and sheer. It takes a bit to sink in, but it wears much better than a regular foundation , leaving my skin looking natural with just enough color to even out my tone. Because it sinks in there was nothing on the surface of my skin to settle in wrinkles. It's easy to blend and lasts fairly well, oily skin and all. I did apply a layer of loose powder over the top to set it, but that is a step that could easily be skipped by someone with normal or dry skin. It's not the most hydrating moisturizer out there, so if your skin is very dry I'd recommend using your usual lotion and letting it sink in before applying Select Tint, but skip the thick creams. It's likely that in the summer no extra moisturizing would be needed.
Wet 'n Wild's formula is more pigmented than MAC's, it seems more like a light foundation than a tinted moisturizer. It took a little extra blending to get the color just right but once it was on it stayed put. It felt like a matte foundation as opposed to a moisturizer. It felt as though it provides little to no actual hydrating, so it almost has to be used over a regular moisturizer, even on my oily/combination skin. The thicker formula settled into some of my less appealing wrinkles, including one between my brows that I can't stand. I left a cheek print on my cell phone every time I used it while wearing this product and I got tired of cleaning the screen over and over again. A minor annoyance, yes, but something to take into consideration. Other than that the color stayed fairly well, especially in that wrinkle I mentioned, and it was not a good thing. Wet 'n Wild is great for the younger girls, and those wrinkle free beauties are the only ones who should walk around wearing it.
In short, the MAC tint left my skin feeling soft and light, like a moisturizer should, and added a welcome touch of color. The Wet 'n Wild felt drying and thick, something I would expect more from a foundation and the color was off just a touch, which certainly didn't help the appearance. The winner, by decision, with moisture and a soft, wrinkle friendly formula.…Brand Name: MAC Select Tint SPF15!
